I Hate That The Stock Response For "I'm Lonely/I Feel Undervalued By My Loved Ones/I Want A Romantic

I hate that the stock response for "I'm lonely/I feel undervalued by my loved ones/I want a romantic partner" is "well do you value YOURSELF? You need to learn to enjoy being alone!" as if lonely people aren't very intimately familiar with being alone. Self esteem and love are important but they're not substitutes for companionship or friendship or romance and pretending that loneliness is a personal failure that can be fixed by self-improvement feels not only delusional but pretty cruel

ever have a blorbo live in your brain for so long they become their own blorbo variant that’s no longer fully attached to their source material and your original blorbo is still beloved and dear to you but now you also have a mutant blorbo clone who is dear to you in a different way?

thinking about the time back when i was in middle school & we had a bomb threat at the school and after standing outside for a couple hours while the place was searched we got taken back inside around when it was my particular lunch period, and the school was like "we know you only have like 15 minutes left in the lunch period now because of that but we're not gonna give you any extra time lol we're getting back on schedule"

and the Entire block of middle schoolers in the span of like 5 minutes all quickly organized & agreed that we were NOT leaving until we had had our proper amount of lunch time and flat out all refused to get up when administrators kept trying to get us to because what were they gonna do? give like a hundred different students detention?

anyway after like 40 minutes we'd decided we'd been given our due and agreed to leave and go back to class & i think that display of collectivism & power of unity was what radicalized me

A lot of hardline pro-lifers really do believe their bullshit. They don’t believe a pregnant woman should want an abortion, even if the pregnancy will kill her, because they deeply believe a mother should be willing to die for their child, and they see the pregnancy as a child. That’s both a sign of how little they value women, but it’s also partly how heavily they buy into the dehumanizing mythology of The Mother.

Yes, there is a lot of horrible misogyny that goes into the prolife movement, and that can’t be understated. They believe that pregnancy is a punishment for sex, the consequence they just need to suck up and deal with.

But that’s not enough! They need to be a mother and therefore a martyr. They want her to be redeemed through sacrifice, to die trying, no matter how incompatible with life the pregnancy is.

And they want her to die with a bloody smile—and even better, as the newborn miraculously survives, a gift from God and The Mother, both of whom knew better than the arrogant, Godless, secular Doctor.

There is no logical debate or good enough reason that will get through to someone whose that hardline pro-life because they see a woman wanting to live instead of dying a martyr as a moral failing, as a sin.
